My wife and I went for a three night break to Ely and visited Lev Spice Indian restaurant on the first night for the Tuesday night banquet and wasn’t disappointed , lovely food , great service, lovely hospitality ; friendly staff . We enjoyed it that much we dined there the following two nights . We will definitely be back again, do yourself a favour if you like Indian food get yourself down to Le Spice , thanks to all the team for making our visit to Ely special .

I arrived prompt at 5pm and walked in as they opened the doors (I was hungry), the customer facing space were all ready and waiting, they had clearly been there for a while preparing. The waiter staff were welcoming, they did not hide the solo customer in a dark dank corner, I got a nice table in a nice part of the room. Drinks and menu arrived quickly. The menu is extensive, and not knowing their spice level I played safe. The onion bhaji starter, was well presented, tasted nice, but they were the smallest bhaji I have ever seen! True it was a starter. For the main, I went for Chicken Madras, with veg and rice, and it arrived, quickly, was a good size and tasted very nice. The staff were attentive without being annoying, which is a hard skill to master.

The best curry I have had for a long time! Everything was freshly cooked to order and all the ingredients were top quality. I really enjoyed the button mushroom rice and the coriander nan. The tikka flavours and the spices were all excellent. The Tuesday night special price was outstanding value. Thank you so much La Spice! Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We decided to have a reunion of 18 friends. The plan was to meet up at a private house and ask Le Spice to deliver the dinner. They were BRILLIANT. We went to try the food a week before, ( You don't want to provide a bad dinner for 18 !) Needless to say we were very impressed, the staff are friendly, the restaurant was busy, but with a great atmosphere and the food is simply delicious. Our evening was a great success because the Spice at Le Spice got it right. It would have been easy to make mistakes and leave people without Nan's or side dishes, but they didn't it was a master class of logistics 18 hot dinners delivered on time, and every dish delicious, there wasn't a lot left. I can only recommend my dinner, if you haven't tried it sample the Lamb Salee, superb. Thank you gentlemen, we will be back.

We visited the Tuesday Banquet and it was fantastic, pretty much everything on the menu could be chosen with a £3 surcharge for prawns or fish as I recall, The banquet included two poppadoms each with the pickle tray, had a mixed starter with both meat and bhajis all of which were superb, I chose a pathia with mushroom rice and had a naan instead of a side and everything was super tasty and cooked to perfection. They have a very good IPA on tap called Bombay Bicycle which was a new one to me and washed the curry down perfectly.On top of great food the staff are all very friendly and efficient, you cant really ask for more for £15

We have been coming to Le Spice as our restaurant of choice in Ely for many years. The owner is so friendly and welcoming and the food is amazing. Tuesday night’s buffet is superb value for money. There are a large number of regulars which says how high the standard of food and service are. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for a curry.

Had dinner here on a weekend break to Ely. Absolutely wonderful meal! I am from Manchester and there’s a lot of choice back home for Indian cuisine but this was a standout visit. The place is buzzing with a great atmosphere, the staff are fabulous and the menu is delightful. Lots of dishes we hadn’t tried before so we got stuck in with something different and it was all delicious! Totally recommend you try it. Also noticed that quite a few of the customers were obviously regular visitors who were well known to the staff, a good sign of a great place to eat if ever there was one. Ely is a very small city (3rd smallest in UK I believe) but it gets a lot of tourists like myself due to its rich history. Having such firm local patronage is a testament to the quality of food and service.

Manager Amin, his Chef and his front of house man, Misael, maintained the standards that I have come to expect. Service excellent and food delicious. What I particularly like is Le Spice's focus on making sure the diners are looked after. It's why many people I know in Ely continue to choose it as their curry house of choice

The staff are that good at what they do they know if you need to be left alone or if you need service.The food is that good you’ll struggle to find a rival within 50 miles including Cambridge. I would go as far to say this restaurant including the kitchen and their front of house team as one, is the best you will find around here, they really do know what they’re doing and I would encourage any one to experience what they have to offer! I’ve dined here more than a few times and they really do deserve recognition for what they do!

Popped by Le Spice at around 2030 asking for my favourite (garlic chilli chicken and mushroom rice) as a takeaway. The superb owner, Amin agreed a time and this was spot on. A short walk home and this amazing dish was still hot. Do not miss the chance to try their garlic chilli chicken!

This evening I ordered takeaways to be delivered to my parents and to me and the family: easy and friendly booking, the takeaway arrived in good time and was still very warm. My parents had a Dansak each: one lamb, the other chicken, and perfect with the mushroom rice. They also had bread, poppadoms and saag aloo. All superb I’m told. I had the garlic chilli chicken (their best dish in my view), my wife had the tandoori chicken biryani, and the boys had Dansaks. It was all amazing. Can’t fault the service, quality of food or the price. DO order a takeaway! When the rules around the pandemic allow it, do go and eat there! Thank you, Amin and Le Spice!

Another really tasty pair of dishes for us at this friendly and covid-safe restaurant. We ate early (5pm) because it allows the table to be used for a 2nd sitting while the 10pm curfew operates. Amin and his staff were very welcoming, and the food was up to its usual excellent standard. Despite the Tripadvisor into saying they are only serving take-aways and deliveries, the restaurant is fully open, so treat yourself to some great food at a very sensible price.

Holidaying near Ely we visited Le Spice for our evening meal on Thursday, living in Leeds we are no stranger to a good curry and this I would rate as one of the best places I have eaten (outside Leeds) for some considerable time. All dishes were very tasty, starters were great, pickle tray slightly different, but very good. Absolutely spotless and very aware of all social distancing. Staff were brilliant with us, very welcoming and friendly. We will certainly return next year,wish we lived nearer, we would be there. Take away was very busy too. I had a mango juice as I was driving, absolutely fabulous.

We ordered a meal to be delivered tonight, 3 hours later it arrived. We were a bit cross because my 6 year old grandson stayed up very late because of this. The man who dropped it off offered it to us for free and I told him that if the food was okay, I would still order again because of how apologetic he was. The food was amazing and one of the best takeaways we have had for a long time. I would highly recommend the food from here and am definitely going to give them another go. Please don’t let the lateness put you off and I think that with the current situation, they did really well considering

We went without booking last Friday night. Absolutely fantastic restuarant. The staff were really friendly and not in any way pushy. The menu was highly varied although in fact we opted for more traditional dishes. Poppadum which were fresh and crisp with a good quality fresh pickle dish, Lamb Dhansak, Chicken Ceylon, Two vegetable dishes, rice and nan. Also Cobra beers. The sauces on the dishes were superb and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. So fresh and tasty. The toilets were really clean, the restuarant itself roomy and uncluttered. The bill was really cheap. We have been visiting Indian restuarants all over the UK for more than fifty years and this ranks along side the very best. We shall look forward to going back although this was a weekend break and we live in London. Still, along with the lovely city, superb catherdral and great pubs it's worth a day trip at only 80 mins from Kings X.

Our hotelier had recommended Le Spice as a dining option and we were pleased we tried it for our first night in Ely. Fairly busy, even for a Tuesday in November. Prices are reasonable and the staff friendly - if you want a long chat they’ll oblige, but alternatively you can be left to eat. I’d recommend the lamb shank main for being tender and meaty. Food tends slightly to the mild side, so that should be borne in mind when ordering.

As other people have commented the food is not that spicy, but we always order it a bit hotter than we usually would ie order medium rather than mild. This works for us and the restaurant will happily do this.

Went there yesterday evening just the two of us, to start with it was really nice great staff and lovely food. After about 15 mins a large group of people came in and the noise was so loud. I can appreciate that it was a lot of money for them but for every body else it was a ruined evening. No attempt was made to ask them to be quiet in fact the staff seemed to join in and it became even louder. You really need to think of everybody in your restaurant so what started out as a lovely evening was completely ruined, we have been a few times now when in Ely but will never return again.

We tried to go here for lunch at 11.45 and were ushered out a bit rudely and told they still cleaning and they'll open at 12, So we came back at just few mins before 12 and were told the same, so we said no worries we will go elsewhere. There were no other customers. When we walked past an hour later we noticed it was shut. Our conclusion was they would rather not have customers that day so they couid go home! Is this correct Le spice? Please decide whether you want to open or not, as we wasted 15 minutes sat on a bench outside for no reason.

On a lovely sunny Easter Sunday we fancied an easy dinner. We were thinking of this restaurant or the Turkish opposite. The Turkish has people sitting quiet closely so we chose this restaurant which had spacious seating and easier on a Hot day. The welcome was great. We quickly were given water, menus and popadoms. The chutneys were very tasty. After the order it seemed to take a while for the starter to arrive. However when they arrived we knew why. The meals were beautifully presented and really tasty. I had the prawn puri. The pancakes were very fresh and they were fully of beautifully marinated prawns. My husband had the mixed kebabs all very fresh and enticing. For mains the chicken garlic chilli and the special balti with special fried roscoe were really excellent. The food was a reminder of how good Indian food used to be before things moved to floppy sauces which are so common in many Indians. We had the food with a bottle of Shiraz. Overall a great meal, very reasonably priced and well worth visiting.

It should really contain several different vegetables but this one only had mostly potatoes and green beans. The Chicken Tikka Balti was very dry with hardly any sauce. My Chicken Tikka Masala only had 4 small pieces of burnt chicken tikka in it, the chicken was covered in charcoal.

I had a working early evening meal here, a party of 4 and was surprised and pleased. Very good service and very good food presentation, quality of the dishes was fine, even the house wine was ok.

We were greeted by friendly helpful staff on our arrival, and made to feel welcome. The service and the meal was excellent.

There are Indian restaurants in all towns and cities but you know when you have a ood one when you always go back to the same one. This is that one and I would highly recommend Le Spice in Ely as the best Indian in town with quality tasty meals cooked to your liking. We either go there or have take always at least 3 times a month and will continue to do so.

After hearing such amazing reviews on how good le spice is, we thought we’d order a takeaway with friends. We did the order online and they estimated a 55-minute wait... thought that’s fair enough it’s 7.20pm on a Saturday night. Anyway, when it got to 8.40, I rang to ask where it was. They didn’t seem to care much, told me the food was waiting on the side for the delivery driver who was 5 minutes away from the restaurant. Well when it got to 9.20 and there still wasn’t any food and they weren’t answering the phone... absolutely shocking, I’m so incredibly disappointed!

We went to Le Spice for the first time because we were attracted by their Tuesday deal - starter, main, side and rice for only £11.95 - and were delighted with our visit. Although it is a meal deal, the portions are very generous and the quality of the food is terrific - the veggies are fresh and crunchy, and the meat is lean and well-cooked. It feels like a quality restaurant - you know how rare it is these days to find proper linen tablecloths and napkins - and the staff are just right: not hovering, but somehow always there when you need them. I am sorry that we don't live in Ely otherwise we would be going all the time, but we will certainly make sure to visit whenever we can.

Lovely flavours from here, you can experience around the mouth, I cannot moan about the meal at all, it comes fresh and flavoursome, and quality meat, and can see and taste the difference from the other 'run of the mill Indian restaurants' the only criticism I have is that they should put a heater above the front door, and near the toilet door, as the cold blast comes though both. I am sure the waiters do not notice it themselves, as they are in & out of the kitchen and generally moving quickly. However, the little cost it would involve is greatly outweighed by non returning visitors in the winter. Come on Le Spice, get it sorted, we would like to use you in the winter as well, but don't, and we cant be the only ones ! I', putting the service down as 3 star, as I consider the heating of the place is either a good service or bad one, this does not reflect on the waiters.

The most fabulous food! Our first trip to Ely, and the first dinner was so delicious, we returned a few days later. Very generous portions. We were treated like the most special guests. Good wines, as well!

We visited relatives in Ely and went to Le Spice Indian Restaurant Saturday evening for dinner we booked for 7.30pm. When we arrived it was very full and several people were waiting at the reception desk, we were shown to a table straight away and asked if we wanted drinks. These arrived about 20 mins. later. About 10 mins later they took our order, by now it was 8pm. Our food did not arrive for another hour and a quarter, after we had asked where our food was. The food arrived at tepid temperature, cold plates were possibly responsible for some of the cool temperature. No apologies were given for the long wait and it was hard to tell if the food was good as it was no where near the right temperature.

Now this would have had possibly 4 stars if it wasn’t for the service as the food was genuinely ok. We had booked a table for 7pm. By 7:30 we had to ask for them to take the food order. By 8:30 we had to ask how long our food will be. 10 minutes later we finally had our food. No one ever came over to explain there’ll be a wait. It’s a shame as the food did taste ok but the service was poor.

While visiting my wife's sister we went to eat at the Le Spice on Tuesday night. Unknown to us this restaurant has a special priced menu on Tuesday nights which was a surprise. The food was great and along with the service it made for a really nice evening. Ely is really lucky to have such a good Indian restaurant. If ever we are back up at Ely we would definitely visit again.

We decided to eat in instead of getting a takeaway and we were not disappointed. We were made to feel very welcome and the waiters were very attentive. The meal was so delicious and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a tasty Indian meal.

Had a really nice meal here, was pleasantly suprised. Had the satay chicken and the butter chicken both mains and was impressed. Staff are welcoming and friendly. The place just needs a re vamp to freshen it up and I'm sure it will attract many more customers.

Placed online order , it was waiting for a while for the confirmation from the restaurant, so I thought I will call , no answer. Driven there and it's closed ! Luckily paid by PayPal so have my money back

Very authentic food with a pleasant atmosphere. Curry’s have loads of flavour and the pricing is very reasonable considering the current situation. Definitely recommend this for the surround area.

We parked across the road, outside the church(popped into the church to explore for 15 minutes as the restaurant had not opened), opened on time at 5pm. Very friendly and engaging staff, excellent menu and we ordered takeaway although the restaurant itself looked inviting. The cuisine was so delicious. We had each ordered a main dish each and added extras to supplement and to share. Different Naan bread's also. My special biriani was so enjoyable and all dishes ordered were subtly spicy. Fantastic value for money, this was on a level par to what we are used to at our local Indian back home. Great meal whilst on vacation in Cambridgeshire.
